A total of 22 participants drawn from academic institutions, public and private sectors and non- governmental organizations (NGOs) attended the workshop. The workshop had three main objectives inter alia: i. To establish whether the concept of DbD is appropriate for Zambia at this point in time; ii. To establish what framework or plan would be most effective in implementing DbD should it be considered appropriate for Zambia; and iii. Appointment of project steering committee with clear Terms of Reference coordinate implementation of DBD in Zambia During the workshop Government, through the Permanent Secretary (PS) of MMEWD expressed gratitude to TNC for considering application of DbD in Zambia’s mining sector in order to address the negative impact of mining on the environment. The mining sector is a major economic sector of the country contributing about 70% of the country’s foreign income and contributes about 10% to GPD. Government has plans to scale up the contribution of the mining sector to GDP to about 20% in 10 years’ time. Prior to the stakeholders workshop a feasibility study financed by TNC was carried out against the background that DbD, also referred to as Smart Growth, provides a framework for expanding national development initiatives that does not compromise the nation’s natural capital. Zambia was considered to be a possible pilot test site for DbD in view of the Country’s robust and expanding mining industry. It was on the basis of this that the feasibility study was undertaken. The following were the key findings of the study: a) There is an enabling environment in terms of policy and legal frameworks and stakeholder support to implement DbD proposed by TNC b) DbD provides a framework for sustainable development without compromising the nation’s natural capital; c) The framework provides for mainstreaming of environmental safe guards for various developmental projects in line with the mitigation hierarchy (MH) i.e. avoid, recycle, mitigate; and where these measures cannot address negative impacts of development on biodiversity, then apply the concept of offsite compensation. Biodiversity offsets (compensation) seek to ensure that the inevitable negative environmental Development by Design Workshop 4-5 June 2013 Report Page 2 impacts of development are moderated by environmental gains, with the overall aim of achieving a net neutral or positive outcome; d) DbD takes into account cumulative impacts of multiple current or projected development projects within the same ecological area in developing a mitigation strategy; e) Offsets are a methodology of ensuring environmental benefits, by providing a mechanism for maintaining or enhancing environmental values in situations where development is being planned, despite the fact that such development is likely to cause detrimental environmental impacts f) Geographically, most major mining activities in Zambia are concentrated in the Copperbelt and North – Western Provinces, with small scale mines generally more wide spread. The total area of the country under active mining tenements is 334 166.53km2, or 45% of the land mass. Out of this, 10 814 km2 or 1.4% of the land mass constitutes large scale licences and most of these are found on the Copperbelt which lies in the Kafue river basin. The Kafue River is the source of potable water supply for 40% of the Zambian population. g) Increase in mining activities has resulted in increased negative impact on the environment through air pollution emissions from copper smelters, water pollution from mine effluent discharge, deforestation and biodiversity destruction and displacement of communities to pave way to new mines poor site rehabilitation and land sterilisation from the disposal of mine solid waste, as well as negative socio- economic impacts on the society, especially those that are displaced. h) Government commissioned a legal framework to enhance management of environmental impacts from mining through Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The framework provides for mainstreaming of environmental management throughout the mining cycle. The challenge with the current environmental safe guards arising out of EIAs is compliance by the mining industry. i) There are two mining houses, Kagem Mining, and Barrack Gold Lumwana; that have adopted the DbD concept in their business practice. Konkola Copper Mines has commenced discussions with the Forest Department for the same purpose. The workshop agreed that: . Political will to adopt DbD exists in Zambia; . Ministry of Mines, Energy and Water Development will be the best anchor for DbD . There is urgent need of operationalizing the Environmental Management Act (EMA) of 2011 through formulation of subsidiary legislation (regulations) onto which DbD would be anchored; . There is need for more stakeholder sensitization among stakeholders, particularly local communities on the benefits of DbD In order to move the process forward the following recommendations were endorsed: Development by Design Workshop 4-5 June 2013 Report Page 3 1) Increase Government support for developing a mitigation hierarchy and biodiversity offset program (DbD) in Zambia a) TNC to make a presentation to the Minister of Mines, Energy and Water Development on the concept of DbD; b) TNC to sign Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ministry of Mines, Energy and water Development and the Ministry of Lands, Natural Resources & Environmental Protection on mainstreaming of DbD in environmental management. TNC to mobilise necessary resources, where applicable, for initiating DbD in the mining sector of Zambia c) Preparation of a document that lays out the framework for implementation of DbD 2) Opportunities to incorporate DbD in national and regional planning efforts a) Carry out preliminary assessment of biodiversity and identify major data providers; b) Carry out research on the potential direct and indirect impact on land use and change on wildlife; c) Carry out a comprehensive research on the national fresh water resources; d) Generate an updated land cover map and prepare accessible data on known future development that will have an impact on biodiversity;

  • Natural Resources（PDF／744KB）
    CHAPTER 7: NATURAL RESOURCES I. Introduction For many African countries the natural resource sectors (oil, gas and mining – the extractive industries) are important parts of the economy. If harnessed right, these natural resources can constitute a huge opportunity for development. By exploiting its natural resource base, in essence converting its underground minerals and agricultural potential into human and physical capital to create inclusive growth, Africa could by 2050 become factory and granary to the world, just as Britain and the US were the factories and the US and Argentina the granaries in the second half of the 19th Century, followed by China and Australia in the 20th Century. This is a vision of economic convergence for Africa’s resource-rich economies, where these countries “catch up” with other high and middle income countries to narrow the gap in per capita income and development outcomes. Over the next 40 years the African continent could build on its natural resource and agricultural production base to become an important supplier of intermediate and finished goods and agricultural products, relying on a diversified private sector and a high degree of economic and geographic integration. Africa’s factories and agribusiness processing centers, linked by world class regional infrastructure (rail, road, electricity and information and communication technology (ICT)) to its raw material production centers and farms, could transform these inputs into intermediate and finished products, from where they would be exported to clients on the continent and across the world. By 2050 Africa could also possess a significant service sector, particularly in natural resource extraction-related activities such as mining finance, technical design, and environmental and social analysis.

  • FISHING in the WORLD This Is the Exploitation of the Aquatic Animals from Water Bodies Like Lakes, Rivers, Ponds, Seas, Oceans for Commercial and Subsistence Purposes
    FISHING IN THE WORLD This is the exploitation of the aquatic animals from water bodies like lakes, rivers, ponds, seas, oceans for commercial and subsistence purposes. It is common in countries like Canada, Norway, Japan, S. Africa, Morocco, Namibia, Angola, Nigeria, Finland, Sweden, Chile. Types of fishing There are two types of fishing: Marine fishing takes place in oceans, seas and it is most important for commercial purposes and for large scale. It helps in exploitation of marine species like Tuna, Cod, Mackerel, Heming, Sardines, Haddock, Anchories, Crabs, Halibut, Oysters, Yellow star fish, Whales, Sharks, Bonito. Takes place in pacific, Atlantic ocean, North sea, Indian (takes place in salt water). Fresh water fishing: this takes place in fresh water bodies found in the interior or inland like in lakes, rivers, swampy areas, streams, ponds. Fresh water species like Tilapia, mud fish, Nile perch, Silver fish, lung. This is common in the tropics equatorial regions, low developed countries like the Congo and Amazon basin. It is less developed and it contributes to small percentage. Methods of fishing: 1. Drifting: This is the use of drift nets which are hanged vertically in the sea like tennis with open end where the fish enters. It has floaters on top and sinkers at the bottom which help it in balancing. It is tied with a rope and pulled by a boat. It has locks for opening and closing. It is mostly used for getting pelagic fish which live near the surface of water like sardines, herrings mackerel. 2. Trawling: This is the use of trawl nets shaped like a bag with open end where the fish enters.

  • Mining & Mineral Beneficiation
    ZAMBIA DEVELOPMENT AGENCY Sub-Sector Profile: Mineral Beneficiation Industrial Minerals ZAMBIA: “Africa’s New Frontier for Investments and Profits” June 2013 I. OVERVIEW Located at the centre of southern central Africa, Zambia is a politically stable country with a growing economy; it is in the midst of transforming itself into an economic hub for the rapidly growing central and southern African regions. In Zambia, the sector is the backbone of its economy, contributing 9-10% of GDP. From 2001 to 2009, the mining sector annually grew by 9% and is forecasted to grow from US 590 million in 2000 to US $ 17 billion by the year 2017. Zambia possesses one of the world’s most vital and complex metallotects and is internationally recognized as having a good mineral potential. Copper is the main mineral resource, accounting for roughly 75% of the country’s total export earnings. In Zambia, refined copper is its major export product. The export value of refined copper and copper alloys (unwrought) alone accounts for 63.5 % of its entire trade value. The Zambian Government has been encouraging domestic value-addition of mineral resources by providing generous incentives. Through these efforts, Zambia has established itself as the top producer and exporter of refined copper in Africa. In addition to copper, there is also a broad spectrum of mineral resources available for further exploration, mining and beneficiation. Additional investment opportunities are especially present in mining and beneficiation of metallic minerals, such as iron, manganese, and uranium, and fuel minerals such as coal. Driven by increased consumption in emerging Asian economies, demands for Zambia’s mineral resources are expected to grow further.

    AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK HIGH LEVEL POLICY SEMINAR ON OPTIMIZING THE BENEFITS OF COAL & GAS IN MOZAMBIQUE (27-28 February, 2013, Maputo, Mozambique) LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS FOR RESOURCE EXPLORATION AND EXTRACTION-GLOBAL EXPERIENCE By Muna Ndulo (Professor of Law, Cornell University Law School, and Director, Cornell University’s Institute for African Development) Introduction A legal framework is required for most human endeavors, whether it be to apply justice or to establish codes of public conduct or to provide facilities for the conduct of social or economic life by regulating and thus enabling such activities to be carried out in an orderly manner. The number of activities have proliferated considerably mostly as a result of the extra ordinary industrial and social development of the world. Hence, like in all other activities legislation is required to establish rules and regulations to control mining activities. This paper is an attempt to provide a discussion on issues that arise in the design of legislation to regulate the orderly development and operation of activities relating to mineral exploitation. The term mining law here is used to mean those enactments which in various ways regulate the acquisition and tenure of mining rights and mining grounds, and the practice of mining-right holders. It relates primarily to the disposition of mining rights and the specific imports that relate to the exploitation of mineral deposits. The main aspects of mining law cover such things as definition of minerals, ownership of resources, law relating to the right to mine, conditions of governing the issue and holding of mining rights to enable private parties access mineral resources in a country, and the relationship between mineral and surface right holders.

October 2019 Preface The African continent is endowed with massive aquatic and marine resources including oceans, seas, rivers and lakes with potential for blue economy growth. The continent has 38 coastal states and a number of island states such as Cape Verde, Sao Tomé and Principe, Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagascar and the Comoros. Among these island states are Small Island States (SIDS) that are vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather events. Collectively African coastal and island states encompass vast ocean territories of an estimated 13 million km². These water bodies and wetlands are certainly of strategic importance to the continent and provide opportunities for fisheries, aquaculture, shipping, coastal tourisms, offshore oil and gas energy mobilization and other blue economy related activities. African Union (AU) recognizes the inherent challenges faced by its member states in realizing the full benefits from the various sectors of the blue economy; notably, the increasing menace of illegal fishing in the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ).
